2. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS (fuel and propellant)
HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS: Butane / Propane Mix 70/30
3. HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Self-pressurized container of extremely flammable, liquefied gas. Storage at temperatures above 50�C may create a fire hazard.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Respiratory system, eyes and skin.
EYE CONTACT: Direct contact with liquefied gas can result in frostbite (�cold burn�)
SKIN CONTACT: Exposure to expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite.
INGESTION: Exposure to expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite to internal organs and tissue. Ingestion is not anticipated since components of fuel gas and propellant are gaseous at ambient pressure and temperature.
INHALATION: May cause asphyxiation in high concentrations. Repeated or prolonged inhalation may cause toxic effects.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get immediate medical attention.
SKIN: In case of frostbite, do not remove clothes. Get immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: Get immediate medical attention.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get immediate medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT:
Approximately -40�C / -105�C
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS: (% in air by volume): Approximately 2 to 10. AUTO IGNITION.
TEMPERATURE: 450 �C
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, water.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fuel cells may release contents if not sufficiently cooled with water spray. Isolate the hazard area and evacuate unprotected personnel. Full emergency equipment with self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be worn by firefighters.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES)
Eliminate sources of ignition.
Isolate hazard area. Ventilate hazard area.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
RECOMMENDED STORAGE TEMP: Below 50�C
HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
In addition to limitations on storage temperature, fuel cells should be handled and stored so as to avoid puncture. Even after use, do not puncture the fuel cell or expose the fuel cell to high temperature.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS:
Eye protection must be worn when handling fuel cells.
SKIN PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS: Gloves are recommended when handling fuel cells.
RESPIRATORY / VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: Use in a well ventilated environment.

DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Thermal decomposition or burning may product carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide from fuel gas combustion.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE EYE OR SKIN CONTACT:
Frostbite (�cold burn�) can result from exposure to expanding gas or pressure and temperature produce little or no irritation.
CHRONIC EYE OR SKIN CONTACT: No significant effects have been demonstrated for components of fuel cell gas and propellant at ambient pressure and temperature.
CARCINOGENICITY: No components of fuel cell gas or propellant are classified as carcinogens.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicological and environmental fate data have not been determined specifically for this product. Available information is:
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Anesthetic to animals and insects at high concentration. Not expected to pose hazards to aquatic life. Not inhibitory to plant growth at ambient concentrations. Bioaccumulation is not expected.
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE INFORMATION: Volatilization is expected to be primary fate process. Components of fuel cell gas and propellant have photochemical reactivity.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Waste must be disposed of by returning to manufacturer for recycling or disposed off as per the law of the land.
